BoLS Painting Challenge, Blood Angels

On Wednesday, http://www.belloflostsouls.net/ announced a painting challenge for the new Blood Angels plastic sets. Paint either a Baal Pred, Sanguinary Guard, or Death Company and win all three boxed sets. Pretty awesome.

I had started on the Baal predator, but I'm not happy with the way the painting is going. It looks good on the table, but I don't think it catch enough eyes to win the competition.

So, I'm painting my Sanguinary Guard. At present they are sitting on my painting table in fantastic "black primer".

Overall color scheme will look similar to GW's - gold armor with white wings. I could do black wings to mix it up, but I think white wings would look more striking. The power weapons will be done with a purple electricity effect.

I'll get some pictures up as painting progresses - next step is to cover the model (minus wings and weapon) in Mithril Silver.
